Casey Anthony–Guilty or Not?
In the last few days, those of us who are concerned about children and others who are concerned for persons who may not be able to protect themselves have become very aware the Caylee’s mother was acquitted of the murder of Caylee.
What does this say about the USA?
In the USA you are presumed INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. Unfortunately, many have presumed Guilt on the part of Casey Anthony.
In reality, what it does say about the USA is at least in this case our justice system worked. The prosecution did the best job they could do and with 12 reasonable men and women (the jury) the Prosecution did not PROVE beyond a REASONABLE doubt that Casey Killed Caylee.
The whole goal of the USA justice system is that we would rather many guilty go free than one innocent person be condemned.
Being the theological person I am, I am aware that Caylee’s murderer, all those involved in covering up the Caylee’s murder, all those who failed to protect this child will eventually have their day of justice. At this point it is in God’s hands to do the punishing–unless the others involved are charged and brought to justice.
God is just.
Humans have clouded sense of justice sometimes.
Humans fail.
God is perfect.
So what is the call to action concerning Caylee’s death?
Perhaps, I, and every human everywhere can agree to protect just one child this week. And next week. and the next week, etc. If just one child is protected and saved from some kind of harm–those of us disgusted that Caylee’s murder(s) are freely walking among us–protect one child, it may be one less Caylee for all of us to to mourn.
Positive Action is the best defense for the children who are in danger NOW. To prosecute after they have paid with their life, does the child no good.
I now vow to protect one child each week–regardless of what I think the consequences to myself may be.
What do you vow, to help the Caylee’s of the world?
